Car Seat Safety Recall Announced

Is your child’s car seat safe?

This week, Britax voluntarily recalled 60,000 car seats due to a potential choking hazard caused by the chest pads on certain models. Find out if your child’s car seat has been recalled. If your model is listed, you can request a replacement chest pad that is provided free of charge by Britax.

How Children’s can help

Our Injury Prevention team provides free car seat checks and installs recalled parts to make certain they have been installed correctly. If a recalled part is installed incorrectly, it can alter the safety of the car seat and the way it protects the child in a crash.
